Telling the Story 2010: The Old Testament Prophets

Telling the Story returns for a fourth season, this time devoted to the Old Testament Prophets.  Musicians, readers, and biblical scholars work together over five sessions to explore the stories of Elijah and Micaiah, Amos, Hosea, 1 Isaiah, and Micah. 

Each evening of Telling the Story begins with dinner in the parish hall (suggested donation of $10) and continues with the story, study and music in the main worship space at 7 p.m.  Please register online or by calling the church office (416.922.4948).  A warm welcome awaits you!

Elijah and Micaiah
The first session is on Tuesday, March 9.  Abigail Young, will explore the stories of Elijah and the lesser-known Micaiah, two of the earliest prophets knows to us.  Their stories will be brought into sharper focus through the music of Leonard Cohen.  Like our own age, the time of these prophets was often violent, bloody, and uncertain and yet it provided through the institution of prophecy itself the sort of crack that light can get in – all qualities that Cohen captures in his poetry.

Save the Date!
Further details will be available shortly, but in the meantime save the following dates for additional sessions of Telling the Story:
